Comment: Electric vehicles work just fine in B.C.'s North

I disagree with a lot of what Les Leyne said in his Nov. 7 column, “Accelerating push for electric vehicles makes no sense in North,” because of my ­experience driving electric ­vehicles in Prince George since 2009.

I founded the Prince George Electric Vehicle Association in 2006 when my partner got a high school mechanics class to convert a gas pickup to electric using a conversion kit produced by a company on Vancouver Island.If you come here, you may learn: • You have air heated to more than 30 C blowing from the heater to warm you up within a minute of starting your electric vehicle.• When charging, it takes about 20 seconds hanging out in the cold . You no longer need to stand in –40 C while your vehicle fills up.• Fueling at home is convenient and you leave home every day fully fueled.• You can power your deep freeze, computer and other stuff during a power outage by plugging into your electric vehicle’s 120 volt outlet.
